Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I set out on a narrow way
Many years ago
Hoping I would find true love
Along the broken road
[PreChorus]
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign
Pointed straight to you
[Chorus]
That every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much, I know is true
[Chorus]
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes, He did
[Verse 2]
I think about the years I spent
Just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost
And give it back to you
[PreChorus]
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan
That is coming true
[Chorus]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
[Chorus]
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yeah
[Bridge]
And now I'm just a-rolling home into my lover's arms
This much, I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
[Chorus]
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Ooh, mmm
